Dean Graziosi delivers a short weekly video blog describing a recent difficult week involving business expansion (Real Estate Success Academy, new book, coaching) and personal/family challenges. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining routines—particularly practicing gratitude—to overcome low moods and insecurities, shares personal examples, and reiterates his commitment to helping and inspiring others.
Hi, this is Dean Graziosi, and welcome to the weekly blog. Hey. You know, last week, I had one of the toughest weeks I've had in years. A lot of different things going on in business. We're expanding, we're changing things. New books, new coaching. We've taken our Real Estate Success Academy to a whole new level. That was a huge undertaking. We've spent a fortune. We spent the last six months brainstorming. If you're in the Real Estate Success Academy, you know how great it already is. We've taken it to the next level. We're getting ready to launch a new book. All this stuff, well, that's one thing in business. I feel blessed and honored to have a business that's successful, and we're changing people's lives every day, but plus, I had some personal issues and some family issues and some things that we all go through. I'm not going to bore you with them because everybody watching has their own obstacles, their own issues. And what I realized, I was waking up a few mornings a little down, a little depressed, and that's really rare for me. What I realized is you can't get lazy with certain routines. And I did a little bit, and that's why I got off track. And one of them is gratitude. You know, one of the quickest ways out of feeling bad for yourself or feeling a little depressed, feeling a little down or feeling the world's against me is to find gratitude. What are you grateful for? Now? You might be watching me and say, well, Dean, you got a lot to be grateful for. You're rich, you're making money in real estate, you're on tv. Yeah, guys, but we all have the same issues. My parents have been married nine times. Between them, I moved a million times. I've gone through my own life. Life's obstacles that still linger in here. You know, some of the past always pops its dirty little head out and reminds you some certain things. It gives you insecurities or you're not confident. But what I found is routines and certain things, like being grateful for what we have. Listen, I don't care if you lost your job, you're stressed, you're going through a divorce, you have issues. So many people in the world have those. But the ones that can find the things they're grateful for, like waking up living in America, being able to take a fresh breath of air, being able to see, be able to count, be able to be educated, your first child being born, the marriage that you're in, your friends that you have the job you do have, or the job you used to have, or you just being grateful that you're here on this site and you're ready to take charge and change your life. You need to find gratitude. I got in a couple day funk and the only thing that got me out of it was practicing gratitude. Not letting old habits or old thoughts pop into my mind and give me insecure thoughts or tell me I couldn't do it. I had to find that way and say, I can do anything. I'm powerful. I'm strong. I'm grateful for this. I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for you guys. I'm grateful for every single one of you who leave me a message and inspire me to work harder than anybody you'll ever meet. Folks. I'm dedicating my life to changing other people's lives. Do I like to get paid? Of course. Do I want to be successful? Absolutely. Do I want to have the best selling real estate book in America for the rest of my life? Yes, yes, yes and yes. But all I know is without gratitude, without being grateful, and without you inspiring me, I might not do it. So find that routine. Stay grateful. Don't let the old habits pop in. Don't let your own old insecurities or your past rough life pop in until you can't do something. You can do anything. And I'm living proof it can happen. I'm Dean Graziosi. Thanks for watching this week's blog.
